Musings of a Misanthropist

The Justice System, Oh How I Loathe Thee

2011-01-26T23:12:00.003Z

Been watching a documentary on teenage killings due to violence in 2009 in the UK; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00xz0px/Scenes_from_a_Teenage_Killing/

Usually human death and suffering doesn't phase me as I watch quite a few documentaries on crime, murder, etc and I also watch real life gore vids as death interests me. However this documentary has got me crying, mainly at how sickening humans are and how pathetic the UK justice system is. A lad got 5 years because the court decided he 'accidentally' stabbed someone who was trying to stop a fight. HOW CAN YOU FUCKING ACCIDENTALLY STAB SOMEONE!? It's ridiculous. And another young lad was stabbed because he called another a 'pussy'.

It just disgusts me how vile and putrid humans are...if you're going to go all out and murder someone, have a legitimate reason! Jesus christ. I hate humanity so much.

An Updating Post

2011-01-19T02:49:00.005Z

I'll update this post regularly, so keep watching ;)

How is wishing death on people a death threat? A death threat requires me to threaten someone that I'm going to kill them. Poor tinks. Needs some serious action in the bedroom department. Lack of nooky making her lose gray matter.

Edit #1:

Not as pathetic as someone who claims to have been in a relationship for ten years and still be a virgin. If you are a virgin your man definately has a bit on the side.

Edit #2:

I wonder if arran_m accepts that paedophiles, murders, rapists, thugs, drug users, theives, prostitutes have different views too and doesn't condemn them, because of course that would be hypocritical and we can't have that now, can we?

Edit #3.

Cute, reporting my blog for apparent abuse when there is none. Free speech bitches. Get used to it.

A person IS NOT a vegan when...

2011-01-19T01:04:00.005Z

...they spout the following nonsense.

Rabbits, foxes, deer, etc should be culled due to overpopulation.

Animal testing is fine and necessary.

"Im sure you can get youre meat butchered for you,but why not try to learn how to do it yourself?
start with something small like rabbits or birds

fish are easy to catch and gut" - actually recommending someone to kill an animal! wow!

"bit expensive,i usually just use cream cheese when a recipe calls for it" in a thread about an italian cheese...vegan my butt. Vegans don't eat cheese.

Oh, and here's the kicker:

"the vegetarian activists that rob graves and have violent and disruptive demos" is what she says is PETA.

Lmao. This person claims to have been vegan (ethical) since 9 yrs old. And claims 6 years being vegan is 'recent'. Funny, I don't know any ethical vegans who support animal testing or the unnecessary killing of wildlife. Nor have I met a vegan who DOESN'T know who or what PETA is.

Firstly, arran_m (the so called vegan for 9 yrs), PETA is in no way affiliated with grave robbing. The robbing of the grave in the Guinea Pig Farm protesting was done by ARM (Animal Rights Militia). Who are nothing like PETA - especially UK PETA.

PETA don't do 'violent demos'. Try actually looking at video clips and images of their demos. What's so violent about standing around with placcards and wearing chicken costumes?

This person has an extremely warped sense of what veganism is about and what related vegan/vegetarian groups are or do.

You, my dear, are not a vegan. The day you are vegan is the day I become the pope.

Oh, and I need to point out for the umpteenth time. Never been on a PETA demo, especially as PETA aren't big in the UK, nor do I totally support them or totally disagree with them. Stop tarring every veg*n with being a 'member' or supporter of PETA. It makes you look an idiot.

Interesting...

Apparently I think it's ok to sexually abuse children. Lol. No.

Apparently I'm a troll. Lol. No.

Apparently plants feel pain. Lol. No.

Apparently I have ginger hair. Lol. No.

Apparently I'm angry. Lol. No.

P.S. The following people deserve to die:

Gene_Hunt, Fang, Rossy. Reasons for this are mainly - like animal abuse. Sexists. General twatishness.

P.S.S. Godfather 2 the game rawks.

Caring is wrong...

2011-01-02T21:02:00.002Z

According to some. Apparently it's wrong to have the view that people should spend enough to live comfortably and spend the rest of their money helping others. Apparently it's ok for rich people to waste money on holiday homes, second homes, staff, etc, whilst the rest of us struggle to pay bills.

I'm also a communist according to some. Funny thing is, communism is a great idea, just hasn't been implemented well due to the corruption of those trying ot implement it. Everyone being equal and having equal share is an admirable thing. Not sure why people can't see that.

General Public, Badgers and Stalls.

2010-11-20T16:59:00.002Z

Don't you just love the general public? Doing a viva stop the badger cull stall:

Us: "Want to save the badgers - sign a postcard."
Woman: "Definitately not!"...

What a twat.

Then there was this lad and a girl, they said no then as they were walking away the lad stuck his finger up at us behind his back - he had "Young Farmers" on his top. So I shouted "fuck you!" at him...wish I hadn't but him being a young scummer and the finger pissed me off.

Anyways, thankfully those were the only two major disruptive people. The usual annoyances of people saying no and looking at us as if we're from some far off planet for caring about animals. But then you have the people who do have some morality in them and they signed and took leaflets. It helped I bought a bag of sweets from poundland - fox's glacier fruit drops - to entice people too. Overall we did well; all the postcards got signed - roughly about 200. And we got some money to send to Viva.

Pics coming soon.

Sick Photographer Takes Pictures Of Hunted Endangered Animals

2010-11-16T10:39:00.002Z

http://www.davidchancellor.com/docs/photos.php?id=2:4

http://www.npg.org.uk:8080/photoprize/site10/exhibition_winners.php

His other photos are of elephant and leapord hunting, wtf? Does the twat not realise these animals are species on the decline due to the fucked up hunters who take their lives?

I've sent him an email : david@davidchancellor.com

"I find it highly disturbing you would photograph such acts of cruelty, particularly where endangered species are involved. By standing idly by and photographing men and women showing off their ability to pull a trigger and take a life you are encouraging sadism and the destruction of nature's treasures. The elephant and leapord are both in decline due to humans hunting them and encroaching on their land. Your image of the girl on the horse with the dead buck is also vile. She is not innocent. She did not need to take the life of that innocent being.

I hope in future you refrain from the encouragement of murder and alternatively support an end to such a barbaric, sadistic practice such as hunting for pleasure and trophies."

Existentialism

2010-11-14T23:03:00.004Z

Well, I have not posted for a long time, so upon finding my old essay from English Year 10 about being an 'outsider' I thought I would post it. Note although very emotive to work as an essay, it is true that I felt this way back then. Anyway, here it is (written in 2003 - so I would've been 14?):

---

An ‘Outsider’ Is What I Am

I feel as though I’m the ‘outsider’ all the time. This is an account of my feelings about being on the outside, and being an ‘outsider’.

When I was younger and I had first started to experience feelings of existential despair, I imagined that I myself, were nothing but a robot or a home for these beings, these ‘aliens’. I believed they lived inside my head, and that my eyes were their viewpoint to look out at the world. That they were just peering out of my eyes at everything I saw, and were motionless. I also believed that they could feel everything I felt. All the emotions that I experienced, they experienced also. I thought that they could control my body, also. Everything I did, they controlled. And believing that I was just a mechanism controlled by these little beings, and that I was the only one who felt these feelings made me feel very lonely. I felt as though no one could empathise with me, therefore I was all alone, in this big wide world.

As well as feeling lonely, I felt scared, because I hadn’t experienced these feelings before. I hadn’t thought about the big questions in life such as “Why are we here?”, “What is the meaning of life?”, “Where did all life come from?”, and I wasn’t sure if others had experienced times where they had thought about these questions too. I became frightened when it came to the question, “Is there life after death?”, because I soon began to believe that I would live forever, basically being reincarnated as another human, and being used as a home for these ‘beings’ yet again. And that I would carry on being reincarnated, and basically never stop. The thought of leaving this life and going into another one upset me because it meant I would never be with my mother again, and that I wouldn’t remember my previous life. I wouldn’t remember my boyfriend, my family, my friends, my life. It was if I was an ‘outsider’ to the world, as if I was the only one who felt this, as if it was my burden to go from life to life being this controlled thing, as if it was up to me, and only me. This made me feel angry towards others because I believed that they could live their lives properly, and not worry about such things, whereas I couldn’t live like that. I also felt anger and confusion towards whoever placed this burden upon my chest even though I am confused as to what or who exactly decided that I was to be the one to carry this burden. I would ask why it was me that was chosen to be this “thing”, to be the ‘one’. Why me out of all the people in the world. I felt that it was so unfair.

When I tried to explain these feelings to my mum and dad I found it was very hard too, especially with being young and not having the vocabulary skills I have now. I couldn’t explain it well, and I really didn’t think they could understand it. Sometimes I would think about taking my life away, to get out of this cycle, to get away from being so ‘out cast’. But I may have only gone onto another life.
This obviously affected my parents, because they didn’t want me to commit suicide, I don’t think any parent would want to see their child die. They, as ‘insiders’ (as I saw them to be) did try to help, but I don’t think they managed to break through the barrier in between the ‘insiders’ and the ‘outsiders’.

As time went on and as I grew older, experienced more things, more people, experiencing the changes between being a child and being a teenager, my views changed slightly, but were more vivid and frightening. They were basically the same ‘plot’ though. I soon began to believe that I was the sole mechanical thing that would look on a group of about a thousand people or more. That I would be the keyhole in which you could peek out onto this certain group of people. Members of this group would be anybody I passed in the street, met on the internet, anybody I saw. I’m not sure if I still believe that there are little creatures in my head anymore, but I now believe that when I die I will go on to be another person that will be the ‘keyhole’ for a new group of thousands of people – the people I passed by on the street in this lifetime, and people I met, etc. Again I would think “why me?” out of all those people, and of the terrible thought of dying – “why do I have to leave my loved ones then continue this nightmare in another life?” Not being able to remember anything of the previous life. But the new beliefs I hold make it seem as though I am orbiting the world alone – making me the ‘outsider’ - staring down at the millions of people go by, minding their own business, as usual.

Again I didn’t and still don’t believe anybody could empathise with me, but on one night, I was thinking about all these things and I got really upset .Soon I was sitting in my fathers bedroom with my mum and dad and I was drawing this idea/belief that I had, I found it very upsetting and couldn’t stop crying throughout drawing it, but when I had completed and explained it in the best possible way that I could, my father said that he understood. He had said that both my grandfather and him self had felt these sort of feelings, although they may have been slightly different, at one time or another in their lifetime. He said there was a term that described these sorts of feelings – “Existential Angst”. This made me feel a little better because it made me believe for a while that I wasn’t the only one, the only ‘outsider’. But that belief faded and I now still believe that no one can empathise with me.

So I guess in the end I am still the only ‘outsider’ but only because I can’t come to believe in the empathy of others.

Fin.

It errs me greatly...

2010-07-04T19:04:00.001+01:00

...that vegans would not hesitate to kill an insect based on 'it carries diseases' even though humans are more likely to transfer diseases to one another than an animal is. Zoonotic diseases are far less prevalent than non zoonotic diseases between humans.

All animals have a right to life, and it is not they're fault if they are born to be parasitic or to carry pathogenic material in their bodies or on their bodies.

*sigh*

Veganism and Phobias

2010-07-03T14:34:00.003+01:00

I came across a dilemma last night. Well not a dilemma, but part of me was wishing I was ignorant like everyone else so I would be able to kill creepy crawlies without affecting any rights or ethics in my eyes. As it is, my ethics and the born given right of insects not to be killed for no reason stops me from killing them, despite my extreme phobia of certain kinds of them (including arachnids).

Last night 3-4 daddy long legs decided to reside in the hall and my room:

Not to be confused with the arachnid 'daddy long legs' which I am so glad do not reside in the UK because those things would really freak me out. The spiders we currently have are scary enough as it is.

I know they got in through the windows my father left open ¬_¬ because I've been keeping the windows shut due to fostering cats.

Any who, me and my extreme wimpishness when it comes to these flying insects ended up with me screaming every time one came at me and I ended up sleeping in my father's room (he was at his g/f's at the time).

Anyhow, long story short, sometimes I wish I wasn't vegan so I could get rid of my fear without consequence to my ethics...I know it sounds bad, but I'm losing my mind with this phobia. Especially when climate change has forced these insects to be more frequent yearly instead of only 2 times a year that they used to be known for.

I know it's bad of me to think like this but well, I don't know. Even trying to catch them humanely gets my heart beating faster the nearer I get to them and I end up just messing up and they get away.

Hmmm...

2010-06-29T22:50:00.003+01:00

Well, I've not updated in a while...probably because I've not had much to say, or any rants I think of I can't seem to formulate into coherent sentences. Either that or I think of them in bed and soon forget them the next day. Any who, I'll just natter away about certain recent happenings in this post.

Having clashes with ignorant animal users and abusers does take it's toll on one's energy and patience. Particularly PETA SUCKS members, of whom I've unfortunately encountered way too often. They seem to have an awful ability of not being able to read, claiming fallacies, thinking they know all about vegans and ARAs and what not. Apparently all vegans and animal rights activists alike have a bambi/fairytale notion of animals...Bullshit. I don't have a National Diploma in Animal Management for funsies, nor do I care for four cats, 3 dogs, and countless fostering of cats/kittens for a laugh. I don't volunteer at a farm sanctuary with cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, ponies, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc for the sake of wasting a few days of my life. I don't watch animal documentaries just to put the tv or dvd player on. I like animals and care about them for a reason. It's not because they're bambi-esque, it's because they can suffer just like I can, feel just like I can, experience just like I can. Animals are my life. So no, I do not have a lack luster knowledge of animals and how they work. I have an extensive knowledge which is always growing the more I learn. So fuck you PStards. Fuck your animal abusing selves who haven't a clue about how animals are trained or used and abused. Live in your little bubbles with your high risk of debilitating ailments and diseases such as cancer and heart failure. I'll gladly do an Irish Jig on your grave when you meet your maker.

And that's all I can think of for now.

Horse riding is NOT vegan, PERIOD.

2010-02-19T17:36:00.003Z

Horse riding is a form of exploitation. Humans horse back ride for their pleasure, not for the horses. Animal exploitation isn't vegan, no matter how 'happy' you claim the animal to be. Horses have to be broken in to be ridden, making it obvious they weren't intended to be ridden in the first place. Look after a horse, fine, but don't ride it, there's no need.

No horse needs to be ridden. Horses are social animals, that belong with other horses in a large space so they can gallop, etc, and do herding behaviour. They don't belong underneath a silly homosapien. Saying a horse needs to be ridden for exercise is a common excuse by horse riders who keep their horses cooped up in stables....or give the horses very little pasture time. If you can't afford enough space for horses to exercise adequately with other horses then you shouldn't be having horses in the first place.

Simply put, horse riding is using an animal for personal pleasure. It is putting a human before an animal. Something that is wrong. Nobody needs to ride horses, so why do so?

This might help people understand: http://veganfaq.blogspot.com/2007/10/is-horseback-riding-vegan.html

And that's not even mentioning races, the over-breeding of horses, etc etc etc.

Whalers are fucking scum...

2010-02-13T01:06:00.002Z

After already destroying the Ady Gil, the Japanese whalers have now rammed the new Bob Barker Sea Shepherd ship causing a rip in the hull.

Will these savages stop at nothing to harm endangered species?

And people say the ARA's are the violent ones!

Paedophilia

2010-02-08T18:27:00.002Z

I'll never understand why people are so prejudice against what someone thinks and feels in their mind. For instance, someone recently said on a forum that all paedophiles need help and should be in a mental institution...why? Just because they have a sexual attraction they can't help?

If they were acting upon said urges, fair enough, but just for what they think in their mind...that's a crime, how?

Not long ago in western civilisation it was normal for a youngster to marry a middle aged person. It is still the norm in some countries (i.e. Middle Eastern countries) today. Back then, in our part of the world, marrying off young girls to rich males was a way to earn respect and status for the family. Also, as people did not live as long as they do now, it made sense to marry and procreate early to continue on the family line. Also, it doesn't help nowadays youngsters are tarting themselves up to make themselves look older than they are, especially when you can even get bikinis for baby girls nowadays, I mean a baby girl, come on? A bikini top is for BOOBS, do baby girls have them? No, so why make things that are meant for teenagers-adults for babies? Ridiculous. They also make tarty underwear with images of high heels on and what not for young girls...to the point it's sickening and no wonder some are bordering paedophilia.

Also, paedophilia does make sense in a sexual sense: vulnerability, innocence, pureness are all things that are sexually attractive to some, be it young or old 'victims'.

Anywho, someone thinking sexual thoughts about children and what not harms nobody, so stop bitching about it, jeez.

Healthy Eating Update + Love

2010-02-03T19:16:00.002Z

Hmm, so yeah, the healthy eating plan is going kinda ok...up and down atm. When we've resorted to takeaways because my dad gets home late due to sport I've tried to go for the healthiest option on there - well healthy compared to the usual stuff I get from takeaways.

That said, I am looking into getting an 'ab trimmer'/'tummy trimmer' since exercise bikes don't focus on the upper area, more the legs. Plus I remember using my parents as a child, fun times.

This is an 'ab trimmer', btw:

However, they're so damn expensive, although not as expensive as punch bags which is also what I'm looking into...the ab trimmer I want has the computer thing on that measures pumps and that and is £25...I can just about justify that, I think? But all the decent punch bags (with gloves) are like in the £50+ range :(. And no doubt made of leather ¬_¬. So if anyone reading this knows where to get cheap, 'vegan' punch bags, feel free to link it in the comments section.

Why I want to lose weight and 'get fit'...I have low self esteem. That's one reason. I want more energy to do things, that's another reason. I also want to feel attractive for my fiance. It's all well and good him saying I'm beautiful etc, but I certainly don't feel it. So yeah, that's the update so far on that thing.

Onto my next topic: Love. Pretty much one of the very few humans I have feelings for is my fiance. He means the world to me. He understands most of my depression and has had depression himself. He was there for me when I was in hospital with chest pains and has been there for me when I needed him most. I love him so much....*sigh*, even bought him more valentines presents today, but can't say as it's a secret :)

Anywho, just wanted to say how much I love him and I can't wait to say 'I do'.

A few things...

2010-02-03T17:37:00.006Z

Quite a lot has happened within the last few hours, well in my mind anyway.

Firstly, what's the point in leaving a comment to insult me on my blog when it's clear I have comment moderation on? You think I'm just gonna let a comment that is just a pure insult be posted? Are you that stupid?

Now, the one's who did comment appropriately are people like the 'anonymous' poster who put '- michelle' at the end. She was polite in her comment and asked a sincere question which I answered. Comments like hers will be allowed, comments just showing people being an ass will just get deleted. So seriously, don't waste your time.

Next, I'd like to discuss people claiming I need to go to 'therapy' or 'speak to councilors'. I've had enough of speaking to people who have no idea how I feel. What's the point in speaking to someone who doesn't even understand the basic concept of veganism (if they even understood it, they'd be it), let alone my other views? It'd only piss me off further and just be a waste of time. I have had depression on and off since I was a child, and even though I've been to various child and family guidance councilors (for other reasons, nothing to do with what I believe now), to general councilors, etc etc, I'm still struggling with depression. Tbh, the thing that's helped me most is venting my frustrations on this blog. Writing it down does help...probably why some people keep diaries. I dislike confrontation in real life so I bottle up my feelings. So of course it's going to build up and when someone pushes me to far (a la PPK and the likes), I let off steam in a huge way.

You can hate on me all you like and hate this blog but this is part of my coping strategy, whether you like it or not. Here I can vent about what I want, when I want and I don't have to put up with the unjust moderation of forums.

Anywho, went to the doctors today and he stupidly suggests more councilling (I explained why this is pointless earlier in this post) and changing my medication. Like fuck do I want to change it. The side effects of going from 20mg, to 40mg, then to the final 60mg were horrible. Each time the dose upped, the side effects were more horrible. I don't want to have to go through that shit again, especially when the medication might not help at all. I was lucky that my citalopram helped me somewhat first time round. Many people take a long time to find the right anti depressants for them.

Also, if you be hating on this blog and me, do so but don't take it out on my fiance. I don't take kindly to people dragging my loved ones into arguments (fiance and companion animals). So just don't do it. It makes you look an even bigger ass than what you already are.

Finally, to clarify a few things. I'm pro-human extinction. I'm pro-human death as long as it's for a reasonable reason. Killing or harming others because of gender, sexuality, race is just bloody pointless and shows you up to be a misogynist, sexist, homophobic, prejudicial twat. All humans are equal in terms of sexuality, gender, race, etc. All humans should die, but for PROPER reasons, not pathetic religious induced reasons.

And that's about it really...hmmm.

P.S. I love how some people believe contraception is 100% accurate. Because it's not and because people will continue to partake in coitus; protected and un-protected (not that it matters, babies can happen either way, just less likely too one way), people need to be sterilised. If you want children, adopt. Jeez, it's not that hard. Or adopt a rescue animal. Like children, but less expensive and more loyal. Cuter too, and much more fascinating than some human brat that kicks and screams when they don't get sweeties in a store...and so on.

Also, thanks for the page hits PPK, you're helping my google ranking for my sites :)

And rofl @ grammar nazi's. I don't care if I use the apostrophe wrong. I've never been able to get to grips with it's placement as 'ownership' and what not so I shan't bother trying. My point is still easily readable so no need to bother with being pedantic.

Anyways, that's it...for now.

Apparently...

2010-02-03T14:43:00.002Z

I'm "banned" from most vegan forums on the web...err, dude, I'm banned from two. Or one, since I don't know where the shithole that is PPK is entirely vegan...with the mindset they have, doesn't seem like it. Vegan Freaks, many people I know, are banned from there for the tiniest things such as not posting for a certain period of time XD

I was initially banned there for posting a roll eyes smiley at someone...yeah, seems you can't post that smiley towards others. I joined several years later because I wanted to see how bad it had gotten and got banned for duplicate accounts...talk about not letting things lie XD

Vegan Freaks is full of highly militant vegans who have the ethos of 'unless you agree with us, you're not welcome'. They don't like people being proud of converting someone.

PPK has the same ethos. Shame. I was warned about that forum by others, but I decided to give it a go, but alas, the rumours rang true about the cliques.

So yeah, two out of hundreds must really be lots !

As of now I currently visit about four or five veg*n forums including my own. So clearly, I'm not the asshole PPK and co make me out to be ;)

ZOMG, TROLL !!11!!!!!

2010-02-03T02:56:00.003Z

It amuses me greatly when people call me a troll for expressing my opinion, especially when I'm not the first to throw insults around. Seems having an opinion that isn't shared by the majority of the forum = 'troll' whether one likes it or not.

So far, I've been called a troll for being pro-abortion, pro-human sterilisation, for pointing out the hypocrisy of vegetarians, having a pro animal message in my signature, etc etc etc. It's amazing how long standing members of most forums get away with being insulting to anyone with an opinion other than the mass consensus of the forum. It's like 'zomg, our forum veterans can never do anything wrong !'.

Most forums I've come across have these problems. Cliques that go around insulting others and getting away with it for some ridiculous reason.

Seriously, if you're gonna run a forum, run it consistently please. When someone 'breaks the rules' deal with the same as anyone ELSE (including veteran members) who break the rules. Don't hand out punishment or lack thereof just because you don't agree with the person or you feel that since they have under a certain post count their views aren't worthy of consideration. On all my forums I've rarely had to ban anyone. Why? Because I moderate properly. I let people get on with things and only step in when it's obvious things are getting out of hand. I tell people to chill out and lock a thread if it's gone too far. The main people who have been banned on my forums are spammers or proper trolls: people who sign up just to insult. Maybe I'm just lucky with who signs up to my forums, because very few have resorted to the pathetic action of pure insulting because they dislike someone's opinion (a la PPK).

Anyway, case in point. I'm not a troll, I never insult first, I merely retaliate to insults given to me. If you don't like my opinion, ignore it or respond to it SENSIBLY. Don't go around calling people assholes just because they think something different to you that isn't a blatant wrong doing (i.e. supporting meat is clearly wrong because it causes suffering). And if you're gonna run a forum, and have a vast mod team, make sure they do their damn job and communicate with each other as well as members with a grievance. Mods insulting members just makes the entire forum look like it's run by douche's.

Anywho, rant over, for now. Back to Gantz.

It's My Life Video - GRAPHIC

2010-01-27T22:02:00.004Z

I made this video a few years back but Youtube kept deleting it for 'animal abuse' reasons. ¬_¬

Anywho, fast forward to near the end if you don't want to see the graphic pictures. You have been warned.

Healthy Eating

2010-01-27T20:06:00.003Z

Thanks to the scrumptious sounding food log that Ecotribalvegan posted in the What Did You Eat Vegan Today Thread, I've decided to cut down on the junk food I eat and go all out healthy. So far, so good:

Sunday:

Sweet potato curry; had celery, sweet potato, onion, garlic, mushrooms, green beans, carrots and coconut. Brown basmati rice.

Monday:

Houmous, lettuce, and wholegrain pitta bread.

Tuesday:

Vegetable Stir Fry: Cabbage, carrots, sweet potato, onions, garlic, pepper, mushrooms, mixed beans, celery, broccoli, green beans, mixed herbs.

Wednesday:

Stuffed Roasted Peppers: Carrots, green beans, onions, garlic, pepper, mushrooms, celery, mixed herbs, broccoli. Salad on the side: lettuce, cucumber, tomato drizzled with olive oil.

All delicious so far. And I do feel like I've got a tad more energy, at least. And I've been going on my exercise bike; Monday: 15 minutes. Tuesday: 30 minutes. Wednesday: 55 minutes.

I'll update this later in the week.

Religion, religion, religion...gotta love it (or hate it, in my case). Religion breeds people like these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmIr9P-vkSQ&feature=player_embedded

There is absolutely no proof god exists. Yet the majority of the world persists to believe in such a fairy tale; failing to realise that god was a scapegoat for the unexplainable long ago.

When you pray, does somebody answer? No.
When you die do you go to heaven or hell? No.
Why is it that in some religions you have to go to a 'house of god' to pray...surely if god was all loving and what not he/she would not care where you prayed?
No god would allow humans to exist unless he/she was a complete and utter asshole.
No god would allow all those vile, disgusting humans to do unto animals as they see fit.
No god would allow women to be treated like dirt in his/her name.
No god would allow animal murder in his/her name.
No god would allow the subjugation of homosexuals in his/her name.
No god would allow the likes of Britney Spears a chance to sing... ahem.

And so on and so fourth.

Case in point. God don't exist, so quit believing in a fairy tale people! Stop wasting your time praying cus it does shit all! Get up, get busy, and start preaching something worthwhile like veganism.

Fin.

For a proper vegan board...

2010-01-02T20:27:00.002Z

We don't allow meat eaters on our board, and only vegetarians that are going vegan are allowed (so we can help them transition). Misanthropy is allowed. Speaking your mind is allowed. You will not be censored or oppressed by the administration.

We also have a chatbox at the bottom.

Why I hate Anti Abortionists

2010-01-01T17:55:00.002Z

The rights of a few cells should never over-ride the rights of a human. Otherwise we'd be unjustified in killing bacteria via medicinal applications. An unborn child cannot suffer to the extent that a fully functional female human can in a variety of circumstances. Also, said unborn child is essentially a part of the woman so she is justified to take what ever action she deems fit from the moment of conception, accidental or not.

That said, those who claim the child should be put up for adoption fail to notice how many children already need homes (just like the pet overpopulation problem). Putting a child up for adoption is only adding to that problem, not taking away from it.

The following things can occur due to pregnancy and child birth/raising a child:

- Death
- Illness
- Mental illness/depression
- Debt
- Break ups
- Violence within a relationship (some males don't like their g/fs getting pregnant and will resort to violence to get rid of it if she does not abort)
- Miscarriages
- Still births
- The child could become depressed due to awful life for whatever reason

and much much more. Why risk all this at the expense of a few cells? It's pure madness. And anti abortionists are never willing to pick up the pieces once the baby is born. All they care about is the rights of the unborn child. Once it's born they could care less.

That said, humans suck so the less in the world, the better ;)

Preaching to the choir...or there abouts...

2010-01-01T16:52:00.003Z

Why do some vegans insist on preaching to other vegans about the tiniest details?

I'd understand if the vegan being preached to one was one of those pretend vegans who eat honey but claim to be vegan and all the other ones like that, but to preach to other vegans about things that don't automatically come with being vegan?

I.e. although I touched on this in my 2nd blog post, the telling of myself, by some other vegans, that I cannot take credit for converting people. £*$*%

I.e. #2. Vegans preaching to me to feed my companion cats and dog veg*n when they have no clue about my monetary situation or my social situation. For the record, I am on benefits, I'm not afraid to admit that. The reason for my benefits is because I have anxiety and depression disorder or something along those lines.

Any who, enough about the reason why I'm on it. The fact is I'm on it, and I get a set amount of money per fortnight. This gets spent mostly on my companion animals and food for when my fiance is with me. I also have a set donation sent to dogs trust per month as I sponsor two dogs. Then I give money to the sanctuary I volunteer at. It all mounts up people !

But anyways, the cost of caring for companion animals is quite high, especially when you have four cats who could shit for Britain ¬_¬. The amount of cat litter they get through is ridiculous. I've tried buying the 10kg bags...I'm lucky if they last me two weeks, if that. Then there's the obvious food which consists of dried and wet as they have dried ad lib and wet evening/morning, toys (*coughyesIspoilthemahem*), flea collars (which many have gone missing from their necks...I reckon they trade em for catnip or something with the local cat drug dealer...)and all the other fun stuff, like vet bills that comes in tow with companion animals. And then of course I have to pay for the dogs food and vet bills etc too. And this example has gone on quite long O_O.

To put it in short; I cannot afford to make my companion cats and dogs veg*n, nor do I have the knowledge to either. Plus, I personally have no qualms with feeding an animal it's naturally intended diet (carnivorous/omnivorous). Apparently it makes you less of a vegan for 'supporting the meat industry' via pet food even though the meat industry would do just fine without the pet industry. But sod it. I'm not here to please other vegans by being perfect, I'm here to do what I can for animals in my situation. So yeah...if someone tells you you're not being 'vegan' enough, just tell 'em you're doing the best you can, or if they still go on at you after that, just tell 'em to stick a piece of tofu in their pipe hole before you do it for them.

The Following People Are...

2009-12-31T16:19:00.011Z

...Fucking Cunts.

Kellye of Veggieboards. Congratulations, you are a fucking cunt. Reasons: Pro breeding, vegetarian, pro hunting, pro buying from pet shops...an all round bitch.

Vegan Freaks members. You are fucking cunts. Reasons: Self righteous ass wipes who preach to other vegans.

RJ members, you are fucking cunts. Reasons: hackers, misogynistic twats who couldn't get laid without a paper bag and a whole lot of cash.

Ps.com members, you are fucking cunts. Reasons: Immature, misogynistic, omnivorous assholes.

NE members, you are MAJOR fucking cunts. Reasons: Immature, misogynistic, omnivorous assholes.

Deja of random AR boards, you are a MAJOR fucking cunt. Reasons: Omnivore, horse enslaver, cow enslaver, wants women to die in the name of zygote rights.

Link of ARCO, you are a fucking cunt. Reasons: Misogynistic, another twit for zygote rights. Doesn't understand copyright law. Is an ass.

Geoff of random AR sites, you are a fucking cunt. Reasons: Omnivore, liar, misogynistic, another zygote rights protester. You also don't know when to shut the fuck up.

Mods of ARCO, you are fucking cunts. Reasons: Don't like opposing vegan boards who actually do things right. Ban victims but not bullies. Don't feel the need to bother to answer pms. Bunch of arseholes.

Well, since PPK members wanted me to list them, I'll just say since there is way too many of them to list, they're all anti-animal, pro-human breeding assholes who need to figure out what the term 'chav' truly means. They also clearly can't have a serious debate without insulting someone just because they differ in opinion. Then of course they ban people with differing opinions. Mods also lack moderation skills and pm skills. Also, 'Smoothie' is an attention whore...fine, I added you, happy now you cunt?

Humans in general are fucking cunts too...reasons: I'd be here all fucking day listing them.

Why loving humans is anti animal.

2009-12-30T23:55:00.004Z

"We don't encourage misanthropy here"...well then, you're not a true animal lover.

Humans are the cancer of the world and should be rid of ASAP. This includes ENCOURAGING abortion. ENCOURAGING suicide where possible. ENCOURAGING war (I used to be anti war, but hell, the more humans that die, the better for animals). Anything where humans are wiped from this planet should be encouraged.

Humans are the very reason some of us have to go vegan or higher. If it wasn't for our own species, we wouldn't have to change our lifestyles.

Too truly love animals you have to shun the very species that causes them suffering and death. Homo Sapiens. You may be human yourself, as am I, unfortunately, but it doesn't stop you loathing being part of such a destructive, disgusting species.

So here on out I actively encourage the following:

Terrorism (9/11 was awesome and well deserved...assholes like America don't deserve to be let alone). But only a few thousand died :(

Come on people, we need natural disasters, world wars, famine (well, meat eaters are helping that aren't they? Hogging all the resources for their putrid mouths), murder...sod violence, if you're gonna be an ass, go the whole (vegan) hog and kill the SOBs.

In short, humans suck and to support humans is to be anti vegan and anti animal, so do the world a favour, encourage human extinction today!

Taxonomic Classifications

2009-12-30T14:55:00.003Z

Two minuscule rants this time.

Firstly, this relates to the inane ability of humans to class wild animals by the wrong taxonomic diet. First and foremost, wild animals are NOT vegetarians. Never have been, never will be. The word "Vegetarian" is a definition prescribed to the class of human whom abstains from meat; the flesh of an animal. This includes chicken and fish for all you pseudo vegetarians out there.

Even the highly acclaimed Sir David Attenborough, a renowned wildlife documentary narrator has fallen into this sordid trap of attributing human classifications to animals. The said animal he mistakenly claimed to be "vegetarian" was herbivorous; a REAL classification for animal eating habits within the wild that include plant life in the diet and plant life only. Hell, he could've taken it a step further and gone for a specific classification for this particular animal; a frugivore, as it lived on the nuts (yes, nuts are a fruit) of some sort of plant.

As it stands, the following classifications are welcomed: Frugivore, Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore, Piscivore, Insectivore, and so on. Vegetarian is NOT welcomed.

It's like the world just forgot basic science lessons from their younger years. Seriously...being learned is not a bad thing!

---

Onto my next rant...

Omnivores, you are not carnivores, so stop claiming you are! The human body is, for the most part, incapable of surviving on a carnivorous diet alone. So stop talking nonsense and admit to your true eating habits !

"ZOMG STOP WITH ZE HOLIER THAN THOU ATTITUDE111!!!111!"...err, no.

2009-12-30T14:41:00.002Z

Gotta love omnivores, and even some veg*ns (the shorthand for 'vegetarians and vegans' for those who do not know) who scream bloody murder when a vegan acts like they're better than they are...well, guess what, we don't think we are, we know we are (to coin a cool ass sticker I saw).

Just as you lovely omnivorous beings think you are better than the beings you consume - why else would you feel ok with consuming their flesh and secretions? People don't normally kill and consume beings they consider equals (see: humans, dogs, cats, other domesticated animal companions we place above other species). Hell, it may even be subconscious thought, but it's still there.

You can call us arrogant all you like, but just as we are supposedly arrogant, we are no different from the omnivore placing animals below themselves to the non rapist placing the rapist below themselves and so on. We ALL think we are better than someone or something, at the end of the day. That's why we frown upon certain acts and do not do said acts ourselves. So, until you can safely say you have no prejudices against any other animals, or humans what so ever, kindly take your "zomg you're so arrogant/holier than thou" rants elsewhere please.

Converting people to veganism. Don't be ashamed. Be proud.

2009-12-30T13:58:00.001Z

This is in lue of being told (by people on VFF) that one should not be proud or claim credit for someone going vegan even if it's obvious they wouldn't of gone vegan without your information sharing and encouragement. They also claimed this because apparently going vegan is the 'choice' of the person alone. If that were so, we can discredit the suffragette movement because it's clear, by the logic presented by these VFF vegans, that the suffragette movement made no difference in changing people's views of women's rights. The same can be applied to any movement which hopes to change the minds of the masses for better. But of course, that is poppycock, because without the suffragettes and other such controversially acclaimed movements of their time, I wouldn't be sitting here typing this (I'm female), nor would some of the slave trade be abolished, and so on and so forth.

Contrary to the belief of some vegans, it is highly unlikely that there are many current vegans who have gone vegan purely through their own thought processes alone. I, for one, would've probably never gone vegan had it not been for the information within the videos on PETA opening my naive vegetarian eyes to the hypocritical life I was leading as a vegetarian. My fiance, whom went vegan before we started courting, would probably have never even considered vegetarianism, let alone veganism, had I not challenged his 'I'm an animal lover' statement...over the PS3 voice comm no less. From the discussion that ensued, I encouraged him to watch earthlings and to prove he was a real animal lover; give up meat, dairy, etc. He also received a copy of my Veganism Intro Guide via good old internet messenger service. Within about a week, he went vegan.

Now, it is obvious that due to me and my never ending hate for the 'I'm an animal lover' statement by omnivores (thus giving me credence to speak up), his lifestyle change occurred. Am I going to take credit for it? Yes I am. Just as I expect anyone who opens the eyes of others to take credit for conversion of a less animal friendly lifestyle to a more animal friendly lifestyle in another. Do I expect a myriad of applause for said conversion? No. But I'm not going to kid myself that my educating others has changed nobody's mind, and that my educating others has been meaningless and insignificant.

So, to all those who have shown others the path of true caring, I applaud you, and I purport you stand up, give yourself a well deserved pat on the back for coming through victorious - even with one person changed - when the mindsets of so many we have educated remains stubborn and unperturbed thus adding to our never ending frustrations as true animal lovers in a non animal friendly world.

Introduction

2009-12-30T13:56:00.000Z

I started this blog, because time and time again, things piss me off and I often lay in bed thinking how much I would like to rant about these things. So sod it, I'm going to do just that !
